THEIR IS A LITTEL COMA OF STARS AT THE EDGES.BRIGHTNESS WAS GREAT, THE VEIW UNREAL FOR SCANING THE MILKYWAY. FOR THE MONEY A GREAT BUY.BOB HART SOUTHERN IN. UP DATED 3/17 02. after using this ep's now for over a 2 year period and in my new 15in f5 truss this ep's is by far the greatest deal out their. for $130 you get a 2in 32mm optic that performs.if you do not have $600 for the 31 nagler this ep's will give you %90 of the nagler. plus you have almost $440 to spend on other ep's thanks bob hart Subject: Re: vote by xxx.xxx.196.46 By: Anonymous (xxx.xxx.185.71) Date: 11/04/2002 07:17:38 pm PST You must have had a lemon! My 32mm Konig is fantastic and has none of the issues you describe in both f/10 SCT and fast f/4.5 Dobsonians. >This is a great-looking eyepiece. > >I have 30 years experience in astronomy. This eyepiece was tested in a Televue TV-85 apo refractor and in a Nextstar 11" SCT, comparing it with other similar eyepieces. > >It had remarkably poor optics. Stars became horribly distorted in the outer half of the field. I sent my UOptics 32mm eyepiece back and I do not recommend that you buy this eyepiece. > >The Celestron Axiom 34mm eyepiece costs a little more but is vastly superior. > >Please note that UOptics never contacted me when I returned the eyepiece with my test rtesults, nor has the company offered to replace what might have been a poor eyepiece with a more suitable 32mm. > > >Michael Spicer, >Royal Astronomical Society of Canada >Hamilton Centre Page 1 of 1 | ||||||||
